She was given to me at 6 and was a pasture ornament her whole life so we had a lot of issues, but now I'm trying to break her and she just doesn't want to join up with me no matter how much I move her feet and make her work. She works great for me and when I turn her into me after chasing running her she just stands there waiting for me to say what to do next or tries to go by the other horses. She has like no personality which is kind of disappointing I am just trying to find how to get her to join up with me so I can bond with her so we can grow as a team.Wed, 06 Jan 2016 16:37:23 GMTtakeachanceHot or nothttp://board.youngrider.com/Topic2020144-17-1.aspxYup you know what to do<br><br><a href = "http://ts2.mm.bing.net/th?u=http%3a%2f%2fbootsandmore.net%2fimages%2fmagictoolbox_cache%2f5f26c6449ad6e0f27b4317737e100d9c%2f4%2f3%2f439%2foriginal%2f10010195-01.jpg&ehk=jid431llTjjcbkTKbcMMng&w=232&h=232&c=7&p=0&dpr=2&pid=1.7" border = 0 target ="_blank"><img onload = "resizeThis(this)" src = "http://ts2.mm.bing.net/th?u=http%3a%2f%2fbootsandmore.net%2fimages%2fmagictoolbox_cache%2f5f26c6449ad6e0f27b4317737e100d9c%2f4%2f3%2f439%2foriginal%2f10010195-01.jpg&ehk=jid431llTjjcbkTKbcMMng&w=232&h=232&c=7&p=0&dpr=2&pid=1.7" border = 0 onload = "resizeThis(this)"></a>Tue, 09 Sep 2014 16:21:03 GMTbayleepalominoTeaching the lopehttp://board.youngrider.com/Topic2019972-17-1.aspxso, Jet and I are going western for awhile, and I really want to achieve a good lope. are there any tips of how I can get him to slow down, stretch out, and lope correctly?Sun, 07 Sep 2014 12:45:48 GMTBackToBedlamyour fastest barrel timehttp://board.youngrider.com/Topic2025597-17-1.aspxpost away :PThu, 23 Oct 2014 12:58:01 GMTEquestrienneWestern Surveyhttp://board.youngrider.com/Topic2024721-17-1.aspxWhat-<br>Western discipline(s) do you ride?:<br>Is your favorite discipline to ride?:<br>Is your favorite discipline to watch?:<br>Breed(s) is/are the horse(s) you ride western?:<br><br>How many-<br>Saddles do you own?:<br>Pads do you own?:<br>Bridles do you own?:<br>Halters do you own?:<br>Horses do you own/ride regularly?:<br>Times have you competed?:<br>Horses have you ever ridden?:<br><br>Favorite-<br>Saddle brand?:<br>Tack brand?:<br>Boot brand?:<br>Apparel brand?:<br>Horse breed?:<br>Horse color?:<br>Sat, 18 Oct 2014 14:46:33 GMTAttackOnTitanClassic Equine vs Professional's Choicehttp://board.youngrider.com/Topic2043343-17-1.aspxI'm starting to think of things I want to buy for the upcoming show season and I'm hung up on which boots I want.

I can't find another one anywhere so I went ahead and bought and single jointed uxeter kimberwick. She rides in it the same as with the other one except with this one she is a whole lot stronger and is almost pulling through the bit. I couldn't get her to slow down from a trot. Keep in mind that I know you shouldn't rely on the bit and I don't she just doesn't have the training right now to whoa off of leg and seat cues (something we are working on but need a bit first). So is there a way to help stop this? Or is it the bit? The mouthpiece on this new bit is a little bit thicker. I'm afraid to go up to a more severe bit because I don't want her to learn to pull against that one too. But I'm thinking about a little s hackamore and a smooth mouth jr cowhorse.Fri, 13 Feb 2015 16:29:47 GMTbayleepalominoBarrel Racershttp://board.youngrider.com/Topic2043112-17-1.aspxI love barrel racing more than any other style of riding. :) I was wondering, who all out there does barrels? <img align="absmiddle" src="http://board.youngrider.com/Skins/Young Rider/Images/EmotIcons/BigGrin.gif" border="0" title="BigGrin">Tue, 10 Feb 2015 08:35:31 GMTSparx21Country Musichttp://board.youngrider.com/Topic2043185-17-1.aspxI know that country music doesn't have a lot to do with western riding, but who is your favorite country artist (nothing else, only country.)?

There is 20 acres owned by another barn behind the ranch and the other barn lets us ride on their property. There is a show arena where we usually show just outside of the 20 acres so to get there (we ride there) we take a trail from our property cutting through the other barn's property and to the arena. Usually the show isn't done before 10 pm and we always have another person bring the trailer so we trailer home so we don't have to ride in the dark. However, there is a show this Saturday and me and another girl were planning on going to but the person who usually trailers the horses is out of town and no one else has a trunk or trailer at my barn. So our only option is to ride back. By it could be 3 am when we do. If that is how we end up going back, how can we be safe doing it? I really don't want to come across a deer or something and Baylee will spook and maybe bolt.Mon, 11 Aug 2014 12:15:33 GMTbayleepalominoAnyone show AQHA?http://board.youngrider.com/Topic2017603-17-1.aspxI havent been on in like a year.... whoa<br><br>Sooo I show at open shows a lot every year.
